measures against foot-and-mouth disease taken by that
Member State in the framework of Council Directive
2003/85/EC.

Decision 2007/554/EC lays down rules applicable to the
dispatch from the high risk areas, listed in Annex I, and
the low risk areas listed in Annex II, to that Decision
(restricted areas), in Great Britain of products considered
safe that either were produced before the restrictions
were put in place in the United Kingdom,
from raw
material sourced from outside those restricted areas, or
that have undergone a treatment proven effective in inac-
tivating possible foot-and-mouth disease virus.

In Decision 2007/554/EC, as amended by Decision
2007/664/EC, the Commission laid down rules for the
dispatch of certain categories of meat from certain areas
listed in Annex III to Decision 2007/554/EC, as thus
amended, that have not recorded any outbreak of foot-
and-mouth disease for a period of at least 90 days prior
to slaughter and which comply with certain specified
conditions.

The period of applicability of Decision 2007/554/EC
should therefore be prolonged until 31 December
2007, three months after the completion of the pre-
liminary cleansing and disinfection following the last
recorded outbreak on 30 September 2007. At
the
same time provisions should be in place that limit the
application of certain restrictions on products of animal
origin to the date of 15 December 2007 as previously
envisaged.
